“Attach Money”

Google has started rolling out the ability to “attach money” in Gmail to send to other people. It’s part of their Google Wallet feature. I use Paypal pretty frequently to send money, and at first I was like, “Oh, I don’t know about how I feel about giving Google my bank account information,” but then I thought, “Okay, but why am I okay with Paypal having my bank account information?” Maybe because Google already knows everything else about me, and if this relationship is going to work, I want to keep our bank accounts separate.
